Due to the moon’s close proximity to us, a wealth of detail can be seen even with a small telescope, or just with a pair of binoculars. The features visible in the following photos typically represent the details that can be seen even with small-aperture telescopes.

While the moon is naturally visible at daytime for approximately a week or so in each lunar cycle, most of us are not accustomed to seeing the moon during the day.

I’m planning on buying a telescope. Just for sky watching. See the moon up close and the planets and other heavenly stuff. Can I please get an advise on what or how to choose? I’ll appreciate it greatly. Thank you.
